Possible ectopic ureter

Hi, this patient is a 3.5 year old mixed breed dog from Turkey, with a lifelong history of urine leakage, even prior to OHE.  She also has recurrent UTI (definitely has one at this time).

I saw this interesting cystic structure in the bladder, and the left kidney in particular appeared abnormal.  I think this is a ureteral jet filling the cystic structure.  Is there anything else this could be or any other views that might be helpful for diagnosis?  Thanks for any help.  jas
